When nursing students graduate, they have a pinning ceremony.
The ceremony is a big deal. Rasmussen College Mankato campus in Minnesota had their pinning ceremony, and about 35 students were recovering their pins.
The graduates all select a special person to present them with their pins.
Penny Pearson, 50, was one of the graduates. Penny’s son, Dustin, is a Sergeant in the U.S. Army.
He had spent the past year overseas in Kuwait and wouldn’t be able to attend the ceremony – or would he?
Penny had chosen her husband to present her with her pin – but that isn’t what happened.
The clip below is rather emotional.
Watch as Penny is called up to get her pin.

She bursts into tears as the audience roars with applause!
Shout out to the school for helping make this special moment possible!
